abstract

The work on the census of game animals has regional features: dependence on a class and type of landscapes, and also natural and historical conditions. In lowland conditions, it is recommended to carry out accounting on test areas by a method of noise run and double mapping of animal tracks. In moun­tainous areas, the route method (cenus of footprints in the snow) or full visual registration of deer at the stations of residence (at the foot of mountains, slopes, clear-cut areas) are recommended. For recording protected and non-abundant game species (bison, elk, brown bear, lynx, wild cat, gray wolf, and Eurasian otter), which are listed in the Red Data Book, using the questionnaire and hunting service annual phenological observations are recommended. In the field, registration of gray hares is carried out by the method of noise run and route method (census of footprints in the snow).
